Overview
Navigating the complex landscape of security compliance can be overwhelming. Whether you're a healthcare organization managing HIPAA requirements, a fintech company pursuing PCI-DSS certification, or a SaaS platform working toward SOC 2—we've been there, and we know exactly what auditors expect. Our compliance team has successfully guided organizations through hundreds of audits, including high-stakes government audits with IRS and CMS. We don't just help you check boxes—we build sustainable compliance programs that protect your business and satisfy the most rigorous auditors. We take a practical, business-aligned approach to compliance. Rather than implementing controls that look good on paper but hinder operations, we design compliance programs that integrate seamlessly with your workflows while meeting or exceeding regulatory requirements.

What to expect
Three engagement shapes most clients pick from. We scope and fixed-bid before signature — no open-ended T&M.
HIPAA Security Risk Analysis (SRA)
Focused 3-week engagement · fixed-bidSingle-location clinics or specialty practices that need a defensible, audit-ready Security Risk Analysis under §164.308(a)(1)(ii)(A) — typically driven by an OCR letter, an insurance renewal, or a known gap from last year's filing.
We deliver the six artifacts OCR investigators ask for: device-level asset inventory, data flow diagram, threat enumeration tied to the diagram, justified likelihood × impact ratings, controls mapped to evidence, and a remediation roadmap with named owners and dates. Methodology aligns with the HHS SRA Tool v3.5 and NIST SP 800-30 Rev. 1.
Included
- Kickoff + scoping interview (week 1)
- On-site or remote evidence collection (week 1–2)
- Risk analysis workbook + executive summary
- BAA reconciliation against data flow diagram
- Remediation roadmap with owners, dates, and verification mechanisms
- 1 round of revisions on the deliverable
Not included (scoped separately)
- Remediation execution (separately scoped or rolled into a vCISO retainer)
- Penetration testing or vulnerability scanning (refer-out, optional add-on)
- Multi-site enrollment (priced per additional location)
HIPAA Readiness Audit
4–6 week fixed-bidClinics or healthcare-tech firms that need broader Security Rule readiness — administrative, physical, and technical safeguards — typically before a cyber-insurance renewal, after a near-miss event, or when a payer/partner is requesting attestation.
Includes the SRA above, plus a full Security Rule walkthrough across all required and addressable specifications, policy gap analysis against §164.306–164.318, BA agreement review, training-program review, and a written readiness statement suitable for insurance carriers and audit defenses.
Included
- Everything in the standalone SRA
- Full Security Rule walkthrough (admin, physical, technical safeguards)
- Policy gap report mapped to §164.306–164.318 and NIST SP 800-66 Rev. 2
- Business Associate Agreement audit (existing BAAs vs. data flow diagram)
- Security awareness program review with vendor recommendation
- Written readiness statement for cyber-insurance underwriting
- Executive presentation to leadership / board
Not included (scoped separately)
- Multi-state operation (priced as multi-site engagement below)
- HITRUST certification (separate engagement, partner-supported)
- Hands-on remediation (vCISO retainer or fixed-bid remediation project)
Multi-Site / Specialty Engagement
6–10 week fixed-bidClinic groups (3–15 locations), behavioral-health or oncology practices with elevated PHI sensitivity, substance-use-disorder records under 42 CFR Part 2, or PE-backed roll-ups standardizing across portfolio practices.
Same methodology as the Readiness Audit, scaled across multiple sites with shared-control reuse where appropriate and per-location attestation where required. We coordinate one project plan, one set of policies, and one remediation roadmap — not 15 separate audits.
Included
- Everything in HIPAA Readiness Audit, scaled across sites
- 42 CFR Part 2 scoping for SUD-record handling (where applicable)
- Shared-control matrix (which controls inherit from the parent vs. site-specific)
- Per-location attestation packets
- Centralized policy library suitable for all sites
- Roll-up dashboard for portfolio reporting (PE backers, board)
Not included (scoped separately)
- HITRUST or SOC 2 certification (referred to partner; we coordinate)
- Pen-testing across all sites (scoped separately if needed)
Each engagement is fixed-bid against a written scope. We publish methodology, not pricing — every quote is custom to your environment, regulated obligations, and timeline.
